A chunky, angular display face built from flat planes rather than smooth curves. Strokes are consistently heavy with low internal contrast, while corners break into small facets that create a carved, polygonal silhouette. Proportions vary noticeably by letter, giving the alphabet an uneven rhythm; counters tend to be compact and squarish, and round letters resolve into multi-sided forms. Terminals are blunt and slightly unpredictable, reinforcing a hand-shaped look even though the overall construction remains coherent.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where its faceted silhouettes can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding, event graphics, and merch-style typography, especially at medium to large sizes where the angular counters stay clear.
The faceted outlines and irregular rhythm give the font an energetic, mischievous tone—more handmade and comic than precise or corporate. It reads as bold and attention-seeking, with a slightly rugged, cut-from-paper or carved aesthetic that feels lively and informal.
Likely intended as a distinctive display sans that replaces curves with sharp facets to create a cut, chiseled personality. The design emphasizes character and immediacy over neutrality, aiming to deliver a handmade, energetic texture in titles and branding applications.
Lowercase forms lean toward simplified, sturdy shapes with short extenders and tight apertures, helping the face keep density in text. Numerals follow the same planar logic, with angular bowls and sharp breaks that match the letters. In longer samples, the texture is dark and punchy, with character-to-character variation becoming part of the visual charm.
